The AW16 Collection is inspired by the culture of 1990's blending skate and minimalism.

Wide leg faded jeans, boxy hoodies and oversized parkas are juxtaposed with alpaca pullovers paired with tonal canvas pants.

 The colours derive from the natural minerals of the ochre mountains - oxblood deep reds surrounded by natural forest greens and subtle hints of ochre.

The denim has a focus on wearable vintage washes, subtle distressing and perfected fits.
The range includes M001 narrow, M002 slim and M004 wide.

 Made in Japan is a growing capsule within the SIMON MILLER collection, showcasing the detailed craftsmanship achieved in heavily distressed jeans made in Japan.
The capsule is stamped with an indigo leather patch to identify the extension of the mainline.
On top of the Made in Japan jeans, the brand added a luxury cashmere blend t-shirt and beanie to complete the story.

 The collection maintains a textural element, putting emphasis on natural Japanese fabrics, organic cottons and loose tension denim.
Some of the key items include baby alpaca chunky knits, quilted wool outerwear, wool gauze shirting and a shearling denim jacket.

The collection is made entirely in the United States.
